I bought the bike from BHUBANESWAR. It was decent enough but they delayed the delivery. The pros are instant power. Mileage is decent service cost starts after 50k kilometres. Every service costs 6500. The bike is a biker's choice. It's not for regular commuters. Buy this bike if you want committed riding.

1. I purchased in August 2018 and it was difficult to find Orange but White was readily available. 2. I buy it for highway riding only to free from the shackles of rail and airlines. 3. Gen 2/Bharat IV was the first Indian launch which was launched world wide with same features and looks. Unlike before, KTM decided not to create disparity between Indian users and users across world especially Europe. 4. It needs genuine parts which are only available at service centre. Regular service irrespective of KMs run make the bike readily available for highway use. It needs maintenance of chain lube/clean and oil spray on electrical during winter. Pros: - Excellent power to weight ration. - All the Bajaj Dominar parts are inter changeable i.e. from nut to piston head - Same as international model launched. - Highest number of service centres compared to Kawasaki, Triumph, BMW, Ducati, Honda Premium segment, Suzuki Premium Segment, Indian, Harley. - Tyre options available from Ceat to Michelin. - Can go non stop 6000km or 800KM/Day. - It can go without starting radiator for 800km if highway air keep on falling on engine. - An option for users who need more than utility bike but cannot afford 600cc cateogry. Cons - Not at all for city use which is widely misinformed among users. - City air is insufficient and thus, start radiator at once decreasing mileage and gulping petrol. - Only available to those retailers which sell Dominar parts ie. 400cc category. - Not for beginners. - Service cost is more than utility bikes but less than 600cc category. - Chain needs cleaning and lubing at every 400-600km, depending upon the road cleanliness. - Out of bound for local mechanic. - One part failure can make you strand anywhere.

This bike is value for money. The pickup was brilliant. My experience is very awesome. I suggest this bike. The KTM 250 Duke has evolved into its third generation, and it's gotten all mean-looking. And with that, it has also matured as a motorcycle with rider aids that were previously only restricted to the 390 range. Not that the 250 Duke needs them, but it now becomes more approachable and manageable for a rider graduating from the commuter class. It’s laden with features like a bi-directional quick-shifter, dual-channel ABS with a supermoto mode, a 5-inch LCD instrument cluster with a 4-way switch cube, and then some more stuff, which we will get to in due course. While the price has gone up marginally over the Gen 2 model, the bragging rights have certainly gone up by leaps and bounds. This bike is value for money. The pickup was brilliant. My experience is very awesome. I suggest this bike.

Good performance bike amazing bike I am a proud owner of KTM Duke 125. I am writing this answer after riding the bike for 6 months (4000kms). I took this bike on a Bengaluru-Ooty trip with and maximum speed of 123kmph and enjoyed a mileage of 40kmpl. Superbike performance to any other racing bike. It's a good bike

Brought SW version for long-distance touring. Will rate the buying experience as average from the KTM dealership since they just only want to get the bike sold to the customer at any cost to achieve their sales target. Coming to the bike, need to keep the engine above 2000 rpm to avoid the bike getting stalled which has happened multiple times for me, post 4000 rpm it is very smooth for a single cylinder. Suspension and tire gave me good confidence to trash bike on bad roads and it did a really good job. Quickshifter is useless and I completely avoid using it. The bike gets Bluetooth connectivity but the KTM app for turn-by-turn navigation is not available on PlayStore so that's also of no use, you can only connect your phone for caller identification. Seat height might make most of us opt for a lower seat variant, I'm 5.11 and it works well for me but while riding standing up, felt the need for handlebar risers as stock height is very low for standing-up riding, and there no way you can grip fuel tank with legs which takes confidence. Braking performance is good and has a good feel and feedback along with the Metzeler tire, even on wet surfaces it offered good grip and confidence. The only concern is fear of puncture due to the spoked wheel with tube, would have been great if they had offered a tubeless spoked wheel. Kept the bike in stock condition and didn't add extra weight by putting in aftermarket crash guards. Did install Barkbuster handguards as I did not like the stock flimsy handguards and also replaced stock mirrors with Double Take mirrors.
